I recently bought a 3060Ti for about 200€, and I'm using it with a Ryzen 7 2700x CPU. While playing CS2, I'm only getting around 90 fps on Dust 2 Deathmatch. Is my setup suffering from a bottleneck?

Yeah, at 1080p, the Ryzen 7 2700x is starting to show its age. Upgrading to something like a Ryzen 5 5600X or a higher model would definitely help improve your frame rates.
Your performance in CS2 heavily depends on your graphics settings as well. If you're playing at 1080p, it’s quite likely your CPU is holding things back because CS2 is pretty CPU-intensive. A quick way to check is to monitor your GPU usage while you play. If it’s not hitting around 97-99% consistently, then your CPU is probably the bottleneck.
Honestly, your GPU should be capable of hitting 200-220 FPS on CS2 with a decent CPU. Given that you’re only getting around 90 FPS, it seems like your CPU is quite the bottleneck here. A Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600X could really boost your performance.
Thanks for the suggestion! I've heard good things about the 5600X.
